VÍDEO: Kyle Busch compara de forma humorística F1 e NASCAR a Pat McAfee ao demonstrar com pequenas taças de champanhe

Kyle Busch recently made some humorous and bold statements during his appearance on the Pat McAfee show. The two-time Cup champion engaged in discussions on various topics related to racing and life. He expressed his bold opinions on young NASCAR drivers and even took a jab at F1 while talking to the former NFL star. Busch criticized F1 races for being monotonous, with the same drivers consistently winning and an overall culture that he found uninteresting.

During his interview, the 38-year-old driver highlighted the disparities between NASCAR, the premier stock car racing series, and Formula 1, the premier open-wheel racing series, using a humorous comparison. Busch likened NASCAR to a lively party where friends have fun with beer, emphasizing its aggressive nature. In contrast, he described F1 as a more refined event, comparing it to a champagne party due to its less aggressive approach.

NASCAR is known for its intense and fast-paced races, characterized by aggressive driving and bumper-to-bumper action. On the other hand, F1 focuses on achieving the fastest lap times without any contact with other cars. The limited opportunities to take risks in F1, due to the car’s limitations, result in a lack of aggression compared to NASCAR. However, this also leads to cleaner races in F1, while stock car races can become more chaotic due to the aggressive nature of the competition.

While F1 has expanded its global presence and increased the number of races in the United States, recent reports suggest a drop in its American audience. F1 saw a significant decrease of over 40% in viewership compared to the previous year. The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, for example, only attracted 920,000 American fans, falling short of its goals. In contrast, NASCAR appears to be thriving, as evidenced by the growth in viewership for the race in Phoenix. The event drew an impressive 4.028 million viewers on Sunday, marking a 19% increase from the previous year.

The decline in popularity of F1 in the United States can be attributed to the dominance of certain drivers and the perception of lack of excitement throughout the series. As a result, efforts have been made to introduce regulatory changes to make the field more competitive. However, it seems that NASCAR will continue to hold its position as the favorite motor sport in America in the foreseeable future.
